Abstract
- Background: Many patients suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) in multiple joints, possibly resulting in multiple joint arthroplasties (MJAs). Primarily, we determined the cumulative incidence (C <subscript>in</subscript> ) of MJA in hip and knee joints up to 10 years. Secondly, we calculated the mean time between the first and subsequent joint arthroplasty, and evaluated the different MJA trajectories. Lastly, we compared patient characteristics and outcomes (functionality and pain) after surgery between MJA patients and single hip arthroplasty or knee arthroplasty (HA and KA) patients.<br />Methods: Primary index (first) HA or KA for OA were extracted from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register. The 1, 2, 5, and 10-year C <subscript>in</subscript> (including competing risk death) of MJA, mean time intervals, and MJA-trajectories were calculated and stratified for primary index HA or KA. Sex, preoperative age, and body mass index were compared using ordinal logistic regression. Outcomes, measured preoperatively, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (function: Hip Disability or Knee Injury and OA Outcome Score; Pain: Numerical Rating Scale), were compared using linear regression.<br />Results: A total of 140,406 HA-patients and 140,268 KA-patients were included. One, 2, 5, and 10-year C <subscript>in</subscript> for a second arthroplasty were respectively 8.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): 8.7 to 9.0], 14.3% [95% CI: 14.1 to 14.5], 24.0% [95% CI: 23.7 to 24.2], and 32.7% [95% CI: 32.2 to 33.1] after index HA, and 9.5% [95% CI: 9.4 to 9.7], 16.0% [95% CI: 15.9 to 16.2], 26.4% [95% CI: 26.1 to 26.6], and 35.8% [95% CI: 35.4 to 36.3] after index KA. The 10-year C <subscript>in</subscript> for > 2 arthroplasties were small in both the index HA and KA groups. Time-intervals from first to second, third, and fourth arthroplasty were 26 [95% CI: 26.1 to 26.7], 47 [95% CI: 46.4 to 48.4], and 58 [95% CI: 55.4 to 61.1] months after index HA, and 26 [95% CI: 25.9 to 26.3], 52 [95% CI: 50.8 to 52.7], and 61 [95% CI: 58.3 to 63.4] months after index KA. There were 83% of the second arthroplasties placed in the contralateral cognate joint (ie, knee or hip). Differences in postoperative functionality and pain between MJAs and single HAs and KAs were small.<br />Conclusions: The 10-year C <subscript>in</subscript> showed that about one-third of patients received a second arthroplasty after approximately 2 years, with the majority in the contralateral cognate joint. Few patients received > 2 arthroplasties within 10 years. Being a women, having a higher body mass index, and being younger increased the odds of MJA. Postoperative outcomes were slightly negatively affected by MJA.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
